About My Situation

So I watched Darby O'Gill and the Little People with the kids. They were absolutely terrified, which was a terrific surprise given the folklore's light-hearted portrayal. I was delighted at their natural intuition that Leprechauns can be evil creatures.

I used the moment to teach them to extend basic decency and respect even to the wicked, and not to seek the granting of wishes, but rather to petition the salvation of the soul.

HGL

sometimes the granting of wishes is necessary for the salvation of a soul

ZM

HGL no doubt. But let's not confuse ends. The leprechaun grants wishes without regard to end, or often enough, with a preference for a bad end.

It flirts with presumptuousness to make wishes. Rather, pray "thy will be done," and perhaps the wish will be granted, if it was a good wish.

HGL

there is also the possibility of going on a pilgrimage for one ... the pilgrimage I did to St. James was not for an indulgence

HGL and sometimes the refusal of a wish is necessary for the salvation of a soul, or of many souls, as in Gethsemane.

Well, I don't think the guys who think that about me are right.

As an alternative, I prayed for death (note, not for culpable death, like in suicide), and some who seem to have wanted to preserve me from my request have died, starting with Antipope Wojtyla.

HGL I understand you have gone through tremendous struggles in the times I have known you. How is life at the moment?

HGL

I don't know what "tremendous struggles" means.

I am a writer and (very part time) composer.

With an income from my production, which is a regular one, I could have a happy life pretty quickly. Without it, what are you even doing asking about my "tremendous struggles"?

One of my blights are people who pester me to ask how I am, as if they were presuming I mist be ill or a very anxious and weak person if I don't like them. Regularly, they are the least willing to put my texts into print or my sheet music into sound.

ZM

HGL well, you are coming on my page, telling me how you prayed for death, and I don't know what to do with this information. The last thing I want to do is contribute to any blight on your life

HGL

I prayed for death in 2004.

This does not equate to me going through tremendous struggles since then.

So, I still do not see what you mean by tremendous struggles.

I am going through a certain hardship, like in order to have a flat in Paris (and probably most surroundings), I need either two years' rent in advance or an income that's three times the monthly rent.

Starting to play my music (if you think it's good) could do that.

Starting to print my texts could do that.

Speculating on what tremendous hardships I'm going through could very much NOT do that.

I may add that my conditions are favourable to you, economically. You earn, you decide the rate of royalties.

It's not like a pyramid or Ponzi scheme where I control everything.

For anyone interested, here are some stats on page views:
